RYAN GRUVER’s background in architecture is diverse. Having worked on projects from single family residences to resort hotels
and ski lodges, Ryan has needed to address many complex issues such as budgets, time constraints and environmental limitations. With
a background in construction and light steel structures, Ryan is able to visualize not only the finished product of a design, but also the
construction process, which allows him to design projects that can move smoothly throughout the design phases from schematic design
through construction observation. Coming from a small mountain town in the high Rockies, Ryan has a close relationship to the natural
environment realizing the balance between the natural and built environments and how architecture can help to make us both more
aware and more attentive to the natural world.

Denver born and raised, DAVE SWANSON enjoys spending most of his time outdoors but through his education, the love for being
outside took on a different importance. While attending Arizona State University he was schooled in, and surrounded by a desert style
of architecture. Taking this philosophy and knowledge to the urban scale in Chicago, Dave successfully merged the idea of an interior /
exterior relationship through architecture on projects of a variety of scales. An underlying tone in his work is the cultural effects that
architecture can serve. Growing up in a mixed ethnic home led him to direct his thesis to how architecture could assist in the smooth
transition from culture to culture.

On a site overlooking the Flatirons

to develop a vocabulary similar to

76. UNION PARK
Union Park is a large 61 acre,
sustainable, mixed use master planned
extension to downtown Las Vegas. A
vertical urban village, made up of parks,
open space, entertainment, residential,
retail and office uses including a series
of links and bridges back to the city.
Two seemingly contradictory ideas,
serenity and excitement, fuse
together to create a complimentary
environment that provides the best
of both worlds: a fusion between the
dynamic high tech industrial imagery
of the Union Pacific Railroad with
the contradictory notion of serene
and peaceful parks. The design team
was responsible for master planning,
economic analysis, market strategy,
transportation and infrastructure
planning with the intent of establishing
a model of sustainable urban
development through detailed Urban
Design Guidelines. Work performed
by Mark Raeburn while at RNL Design.

MASTER PLAN
Gambro is a global medical
technology company and a
leader in researching, developing,
manufacturing, commercializing and
supplying products and therapies for
patients world wide. This 57 acre
phased conceptual masterplan was
designed to integrate the remote
functions of the company into a single
campus thereby creating a sense of
unity and place. By consolidating
research and development, clean
labs, testing, production facilities and
administration office space - and with
the addition of child care facilities,
parks, parking, restaurants, shopping
and other service related functions
into a single corporate headquarters
it was hoped to create a stronger
internal corporate community and
public corporate identity. Work

80. AL GHADEER
With an expected rate of 80% ex-
patriot occupancy at Al Ghadeer
there is a need to educate the
population to the rich cultural history
of the region and at the same time
provide the modern appointments
that are expected. Historic patterns
and textures will be used in both
common and uncommon ways as a
consistent thread to stitch the urban
context together reinforced with
consistent landscaping and urban
design features. Contemporary
tensile fabric structures will be
featured in prominent public spaces
to provide shade and gathering places
as a constant reminder of the regions’
culture. The civic open space at the
District Center crosses over the
Central beltway with an iconic bridge
leading to Lake Center Park and
eventually back into the neighborhoods
via the regional pedestrian parkways.

CULTURAL ARTS
The Englewood Cultural Arts Center
had to be highly visible and easily
accessible. The intersection of the
Santa Fe transportation corridor
and Highway 285 provides maximum
metro-wide exposure and makes
the arts center convenient for both
automobile and mass transit arrival.
In this location, the ECAC will be a
billboard for the arts.
By connecting the city center to
the South Platte River Greenway,
the ECAC becomes a catalyst for
the development of a new art
park providing sculpture gardens,
performance areas, artist live/work
spaces and other art related retail.
Special programs, festivals and other
recreational activities along the
waterfront will reinforce the vitality
between the new art center and the
local community. Work performed by
Mark Raeburn while at ARAA.

CULTURAL CENTER
The first phase of the development
for Fort Lewis College was a 600 seat
concert hall designed as a cultural
venue for the local community. The
main auditorium was designed to be
tuned using acoustic curtains set within
the sidewall architecture. The second
phase of the project was the Center
of Southwest Studies - a classroom,
library, lecture and gallery building
for the Archeology Department. The
processing, storage and display of
artifacts informed the design, as well
as the indigenous Anazazi ruins found
in the area. Work performed by Lee

The design of the pavilion is intended
to represent architecture in motion
through the development of forms
inspired by transportation. The
pavilion appears to grow out of the
surrounding plaza, strengthening
the aspect of motion and adding an
intimate level of connectivity between
the structure and program, shelter
and environment, user and program,
place and time. It is a modular design,
allowing the structure to be fabricated
off-site, quickly assembled, and easily
duplicated at other sites. Solar thermal
and photovoltaic panels are integrated
into the design and allow the pavilion
to produce its own electricity and hot
water.
